It's important to have a sense of humor about sex. I get that it's a serious thing and a big step. But nowadays, it's not what it used to be in our parents' day. '

My name is Jill Clark. I'm 25 years old and the host of the Internet television sensation Twenty Something. It's an edgy, classy, smart and funny show geared toward - you guessed it - twenty somethings! So far, the twenties have been quite an adventure. Good times, bad times, an array of learning experiences-Compared to my teen years, I am so much more self-assured. I was out for dinner and drinks with one of my girlfriends one night, talking about our coming-of-age, and I said, "I wish someone would have a show like The View for women in their twenties." And then it hit me: "I'll write it!" Luckily I met Lucky Friday Productions' Brett Heard two weeks later, and that's how it all started.

The show, which launched in December 2006, is meant to help women navigate their way through this decade of growth, because it's definitely a decade nobody warns you about. You're learning who is effective in your life, who you don't want in your life, who you want to be. The formula is simple: A group of girls sitting around talking about sex, relationships and whatever else comes to mind. The beauty of it is that the world gets to be a fly on the wall. Watch the webisodes at: www.twentysomethingtv.com.

What happens when you mix a group of twenty-something women, a bottle of Chardonnay and a camera? A lot of offensive comments. (laughs) The reason we use the Chardonnay is to get the girls more relaxed, open and honest when talking about their experiences in sex, love or life in general. Normally it's just a bunch of giggles and good times, and it works out to be a really fun four-minute show.

We're really lucky that we stumbled upon a great team somehow. I think the stars were aligned. We actually have three male cameramen and two male producers mixed in too. Everyone there makes us feel so comfortable and the guys in the room are never leering at us or making inappropriate comments. Since you need to be able to talk about your intimate experiences in your twenties, we made a point of picking girls who are not introverted. We need girls who can talk.

The guests are a group of my girlfriends, ranging from some I just met, to others that I've known all my life. In terms of who is tuning in, we have a lot of men watching, and in fact, most of the comments I receive about the show are from men. They appreciate the fly-on-the-wall quality of the show and they like to refer to it as 'cheat notes.' Ultimately we'd love to sell the show to television, but right now we're just looking to get sponsors involved, get more viewers and bring it to another level.

Of course the topic that keeps coming up again and again is - you guessed it - SEX! (laughs) That's the big underlying theme here.

Jill - I was watching your Sex Toys webisode and was so surprised to hear that you had never owned a vibrator! It was the only thing you said so far that shocked me.
